Rdclfamily Posted November 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Wondering how generous the wine pours are on Royal Caribbean? Trying to figure out if it is any cheaper to buy a bottle of wine. The cheapest bottle of pinot noir is $56 (pre-paid before cruise). Also, they are offering a 375 ml bottle of vodka and 4 sprites for $44. Is that cheaper than if I was to just buy drinks?

Glasses of wine are 8 oz pours. Vodka is typically $12 a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelayne Posted November 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Glasses of wine are 8 oz pours. Vodka is typically $12 a drink. 8 oz glass of wine is excellent -that's 3 glasses to bottle. Most bars around us pour 5 0z glasses of wine; 5 glasses to a bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Scarlett Posted November 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I called to ask about the pours when determining whether or not to buy a beverage package. I was told it was 5 oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted November 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I never measured, and I don't pretend to have a good eye for such things, but I am pretty darn sure that they don't typically pour 8 ounce glasses of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you highly value being able to have a drink in your cabin when you want, the offer is not very good, IMO. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakes2 Posted November 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Never seen an 8 ounce pour. 5 is the norm. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted November 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Pretty sure a one ingredient cocktail is more like $8. Vodka and cranberry for example Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taglovestocruise Posted November 17, 2017 #16 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just got off the Independence, a gin and tonic and a vodka cranberry was $17.95 in the Alhambra showroom. That included the 18%. PS. take two carryons and put two bottles of wine in each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Unless you highly value being able to have a drink in your cabin when you want, the offer is not very good, IMO. YMMV. A shot of vodka in the us is about 44ml. That gives just over 8 shots in the bottle. A drink should be half the can of sprite (no matter how much my brother thinks A drink is a can of soda with scads of booze) so those 4 cans yield 8 drinks. 8 drinks for $44? I don’t think that’s bad. I’m a person who monitors what I drink; both for weight purposes and for family history purposes. So having a proper drink is important to me. Overpours don’t impress me. So for someone like me, it’s a decent deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
